Alberta Field Work

10-08-2008, 03:15 PM

Anyone know where a 2nd year (soon to be 3rd yr) apprentice can find some field work in the Edmonton area? I would rather freeze my little buddies off than stay in the shop all winter. Any info would be appreciated.

There are no alberta apprentice pipewelders...no such thing exists. I guess you could have thought i was an apprentice ironworker but it's a welding discussion fourm and my name is "keith welder" so yes i am a welder.

Might be a tough go. Talked to a buddy in Pipefitters union, only 4 dispatch posts at the hall!!!!!! That's 4 post for all trades they hire. There was a few hundred when I was around their last year. Thinking the credit crunch is starting to hit really hard for us as well. Your best bet might be to take any job you can right now so you can continue your apprenticeship. I see a lot of rigs parked or fleeing to other provinces on any hint of work. Might be some hard time coming.

You can try jobbank.gc.ca, plenty of options there. But for the life of me, why would you want to freeze your "little buddies off"?

What is it that makes some people feel that they are better than others? Welding is a simple trade that 99% of human biengs could do with about 12 months of training. It doesn't take a rocket scientist's brain to weld. Anyone with a 70 IQ or better can weld - and weld RIGHT. Get over yourselves you proud a-holes! You're JUST a weldor!
